Description
Determining Firmware Revisions for SPARCstorage(R) Array (SSA)/Sun StorEdge[TM] A3000/A5X00/RSM2000 Related Devices

Quite often one is faced with the challenge to determine whether a firmware upgrade is necessary or not.. This document is intended to provides a guideline on how to find out what is the installed firmware revision for several Sun StorEdge products.



Steps to Follow
Determining Firmware Revisions for SPARCstorage(R) Array(SSA)/Sun StorEdge[TM] A3000/A5X00/RSM2000 Related Devices

Sparc Storage Array (SSA) Controller Firmware

How To Determine

  • You can use the "vxva" Volume Manager Visual Administrator GUI (Graphical User Interface).

  • You can use the "ssaadm" command, CLI (Command Line Interface).

To display the firmware revision of the Sparc Storage Array (SSA) controller through the GUI, follow these steps:

  1. Bring up vxva (Volume Manager Visual Administrator GUI) on your system.

  2. When the first window pops up (Sparc Storage Volume Manager), click on the button with the WWN (this is the 4 digit world wide number/identifier) of the Sparc Storage Array you want to look at.

  3. Right-click on the controller symbol that is in the window with the view of the array. This will give you the revision number of the firmware, i.e.: 3.6, as well as its product ID and serial number.

To display the firmware revision of the Sparc Storage Array (SSA) controller through the CLI (Command Line Interface), follow these steps:

Determine the actual controller name to which the Sparc Storage Array drives are associated with. The controller name is specified by its physical name, for example,

       /devices/.../.../SUNW,soc@3,0/SUNW,pln@axxxxxxx,xxxxxxxx:ctlr,
or by a name of the form
cN,
where Nis the logical controller number.

ssaadm uses the cN name to find an entry in the /dev/rdsk directory of a disk that is attached to the SPARCstorage Array controller. The /dev/rdsk entry is then used to determine the physical name of the SPARCstorage Array controller.

To do this, knowing that SSA drives use the "ssd", "pln", "soc" drivers we can either do the following:

        # format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
...
/io-unit@f,e1200000/sbi@0,0/SUNW,soc@3,0/SUNW,pln@a0000000,78c789/ssd@0,0
8. c3t0d1 <SUN1.05 cyl 2036 alt 2 hd 14 sec 72>

As an example, this disk clearly shows "soc", "pln", the World Wide Number (WWN) of the SSA and "ssd" indicating that this is a disk in the Sparc Storage Array.

or

        # cd /dev/dsk
# ls -la | grep ssd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 88 Dec 4 00:38 c3t0d0s0 ->
../../devices/io-unit@f,e1200000/sbi@0,0/SUNW,soc@3,0/SUNW,pln@a0000000,78c789/ssd@0,0:a

So, now that we know that c3t0d0 is an SSA disk which uses the c3 controller for the SSA, we can do the following:

      # /usr/sbin/ssaadm -v display c3 | grep Firm
Firmware Rev: 3.12

The SSA's controller firmware revision is "3.12".

SOCHA FCode (Serial Optical Controller Host Bus Adapter) or FC25/S (Fibre Channel 25MB/S Sbus Adapter)

How To Determine

  • When system is shutdown and you are at the OBP (Open Boot PROM) level also referred to as the "ok prompt".

  • When system is shutdown and completely powered "off.

  • When system is booted from either the boot disk or any other alternate boot device such as a cdrom drive.

  • When system is shutdown and you are at the OBP (Open Boot PROM) level also referred to as the "ok prompt", do the following:

Use the OBP "sccsid" command to display the FCS25/S firmware level:

      ok show-devs (this will give you a list of devices for reference)
ok setenv fcode-debug  true
ok reset
ok cd /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0 <------ SS5 example.
ok cd /iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/SUNW,soc@0,0 <------ SS20 example.
ok cd /io-unit@f,e1200000/sbi@0,0/SUNW,soc@3,0 <------ SS1000 example.
ok sccsid type  1.18 94/03/15 <----------------------- This is the FCode version and date.
ok device-end      

Notes:

  1. The FC25/S requires firmware equal to or greater than 1.33 to boot the SPARC Storage Array.

  2. Firmware 1.33 is on FC25/S 501-2069-07 and 501-2553-03.

  3. Solaris 2.3 does not support booting from the Array Controller.

  4. Solaris 2.4 Hardware: 3/95, SPARCstorage Array Software 2.1 and FC25/S firmware greater than or equal to 1.33 are required to boot SPARCstorage Array.

When system is shut down and completely powered "off, you can physically inspect the FC25/S sbus card by pulling it out of the Sbus slot it was in and looking at the black connector (connector that plugs into the Sbus slot):

Firmware 1.33 is on FC25/S Sun part number 501-2069-07 and 501-2553-03 (501-2553 is obsolete) (-07 and -03 denotes revision numbers), so if the revision numbers are lower than these, then that means you have 1.18 firmware and will either need to update the firmware via the "fc_update" program or replace the cards hardware-wise. Usually newer stocks of the cards have current firmware loaded on them.

When system is booted from either the boot disk or any other alternate boot device such as a cdrom drive.

To update or check the Fcode revision there is a program called "fc_update" which is supplied on the Storage Array 2.X CD (2.1, 2.1.1), in its own sub-directory. If the system has no other boot media, and you need to check the Fcode then you will need either a cdrom drive to mount the SSA cd while booted from the Solaris media, or a tape copy of this sub-directory. With a new system this should not be an issue.

This is used as follows:

* fc_update [return] will check for SOC cards and bring them all to the current fcode revision, asking for confirmation on each one.

* fc_update -v [return] will go through the system looking for SOC cards and reporting the fcode revision levels it finds. No changes are made to the system.

Obtain the latest SSA 2.X CD media and mount it (vold should already automatically mount it). Example: SSA 2.1 or SSA 2.1.1

        # cd <path_to_CDROM>/ssa_2_1_1sparc/fc_update
# ./fc_update -v 

Running the fc_update with the "-v" does NOT download the latest firmware revision but instead ONLY reports the firmware revision on the FC25/S card. This probes all SBus slots for FC25/S boards and reports back on what FCode version it finds.

Notes:

  1. The fc_update command is not supported on the SS4 or SS5.

  2. WHEN YOU RUN THE FC_UPDATE PROGRAM YOU WILL GET ERRORS REPORTED TO THE CONSOLE FOR EVERY EMPTY SBUS SLOT.

The messages look like this:

Dec 27 11:21:53 nameus unix: WARNING: Board 3 CpuB (cpu7) MXCC ERROR 0x069801883 0020000

Dec 27 11:21:53 nameus unix: WARNING: Process 9996 (fc_update): async error. 

How To Update

Use the fc_update command without the -v to download the FC25/S firmware, then halt the system and power cycle the SPARCstorage Array:

Obtain the latest SSA 2.X CD media and mount it (vold should already automatically mount it). Example: SSA 2.1 or SSA 2.1.1

        # cd <path_to_CDROM>/ssa_2_1_1sparc/fc_update
# ./fc_update

Notes:

  1. The fc_update command is not supported on the SS4 or SS5.

  2. WHEN YOU RUN THE FC_UPDATE PROGRAM... YOU WILL GET ERRORS REPORTED TO THE CONSOLE FOR EVERY EMPTY SBUS SLOT

The messages look like this...

Sun Enterprise Network Array (SENA/A5000/A5100/A5200/A5X00/PHOTON) Interface (IB) Firmware

IB (Interface Board) and Interconnect Assembly:

The A5X00 Interface Boards (IBs) contains the arrays functional firmware. When replacing IBs or the Interconnect Assembly (IA), it is important to understand how the firmware downloads function in the array.

THERE ARE 3 SETS OF FIRMWARE IN THE ARRAY:

  1. Downloadable functional code in the IB.

  2. Static or "Golden" firmware code in the IB. Resides on EEPROM and only loaded at the factory. This is a "known good" code which can be used if download firmware is corrupt, but the static firmware can be downrev.

  3. Downloadable code on the motherboard (part of the IA).

How To Determine

  • You can use the A5X00's FPM (Front Panel Module).

  • You can use the "luxadm" command, CLI (Comand Line Interface).

To display the firmware revision of the Sun Enterprise Network Array (A5X00) Interface Board (IB) through the FPM (Front Panel module), follow these steps:

  1. From the main FPM menu, select the "Interface Board" icon.

  2. Select an installed IB, either "IB A" or "IB B".

  3. Look at the "FW rev:" line and this will give you the firmware revision, say for example "1.08".

To display the firmware revision of the Sun Enterprise Network Array (A5X00) Interface Board (IB) through "luxadm" command, CLI (Command Line Interface), follow these steps:

Determine all of the A5X00(s) attached to your system host by issuing the "luxadm probe" command.

Note: A delimiter of a "-v" will give you a better detailed, verbose output (# /usr/sbin/luxadm -v probe).

   # /usr/sbin/luxadm probe
Searching directory /dev/es for links to enclosures
Found
SENA                Name:A    Node WWN:508002000000f598
Logical Path:/dev/es/ses0
Logical Path:/dev/es/ses1
Logical Path:/dev/es/ses6
Logical Path:/dev/es/ses7  

Obtain the box name(s) or the enclosure name(s) (if multiple A5X00(s) are present) from the "Name" field from this output. In our example, it's "A".

Next, get the firmware revision by issuing the "luxadm display <Enclosure_Name>" command.

Notes: A delimiter of a "-v" will give you a better detailed, verbose output (# /usr/sbin/luxadm -v probe). "Enclosure_Name" is obtained from the "Name" field of the "luxadm probe" output command.

   # /usr/sbin/luxadm display A | grep FW
FW Revision:1.07   Box ID:0   Node WWN:508002000000f598    Enclosure Name:A  

So, we see in this example that the IB firmware revision is "1.07". Run this same command for all A5X00(s) attached to your system host.

How To Update

THERE ARE 3 WAYS TO MODIFY FIRMWARE IN THE ARRAY IBs:

The "luxadm download" command.

  • Temporary firmware download to single IB only. Will revert back to original version on reset or power cycle (not recommended usage).

  • Use the "-s" or save option for PERMANENT downloads to both IBs and the motherboard.

How it is done:

  • Install Patch ID 105310 Click Here for Solaris 2.5.1 or Patch ID 105375 Click Here for Solaris 2.6. CAUTION!!! Be sure to read the "Special Install Instructions" from the patch's README file. From within the "Special Install Instructions" section of the patch's README:

  • Use the luxadm download command to download the new firmware to each A5000 on the system. Download the firmware to only one A5000 at a time:

    # /usr/sbin/luxadm download -s -f <firmware_file> <enclosure>

    where <enclosure> is the name of the A5X00(s) and <firmware_file> is the firmware image for the A5000, which is usually located in /usr/lib/locale/C/LC_MESSAGES/ibfirmware. For more information, see the "luxadm" (1M) man page. CAUTION: This operation may take a few minutes to complete. Do NOT interrupt the operation before it is finished or the system may not be able to communicate with the A5X00. Note that the luxadm command may complete BEFORE the firmware update completes on the A5X00. Verify that the A5X00 has completed by checking the firmware level for all Interface Boards on your A5X00(s) through the FPM.

  • On power up or reset the IBs compare code with the motherboard and on mismatch will download firmware from motherboard, even if the IB's code is higher revision.

  • New Interconnect Assemblies (with motherboard) with newer or older firmware revisions will download that firmware to the IBs. - Note that replacing the IA will change the array WWN and reset the box ID and name. DO NOT REMOVE THE FEPROM FROM AN OLDER IA AND PUT IT INTO A REPLACEMENT UNIT. The FEPROM on the IA also contains a "Golden Version" of the IB firmware. This "Golden Version" is a well-tested, non-writeable, version that will bring up the array in case of a firmware download interruption. If the firmware download is interrupted, in any fashion, it is possible to recover by powering off the array and then powering it back on. The self-test will recognize the corrupted firmware and the "Golden Version" will be loaded into the 2 interface boards (IBs) and the array will come up.9 The firmware may then be updated with the standard "download" procedure above.

SOCAL/SOC+/SOC+HA FCode (Serial Optical Controller Arbitrated Loop Host Bus Adapter) or FC100/S (Fibre Channel 100MB/S Sbus Adapter)

How To Determine:

  • If you have a SOC+ on-board a Ultra Enterprise I/O board, you can use the "prtconf -vp" command.

  • If you have a SOC+ card and it is attached to a particular Sbus slot on an Ultra Enterprise I/O board, you can use the "luxadm fcal_s_download " command.

  • You can use the Explorer script 2.2.3 or higher. The Explorer script is a SUN for gathering of complete system information and configuration needed for analysis and troubleshooting purposes. The SUN explorer web site is:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl target=explorer/explorer

NOTE: BE SURE TO USE EXPLORER REV 3.0.1 OR HIGHER ON SYSTEMS WITH A5X00 AND/OR SUN CLUSTERS.

  • If SOC+ card is in a Slot on the Ultra Enterprise's I/O board:

     # /usr/sbin/luxadm fcal_s_download
Found Path to 2 FC100/S Cards
Device: /devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,socal@1,0
Detected FC100/S Version: @(#) FCode 1.11 97/12/07
Device: /devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,socal@3,0
Detected FC100/S Version: @(#) FCode 1.11 97/12/07
Complete  

In this example, it found 2 SOC+ cards, both having firmware revision "1.11".

Note: Running the "/usr/sbin/prtconf -vp | grep FCode" command will show the firmware revision for the on-board SOC+ and the SOC+ card in a Slot on the I/O board .

Again, the "S" in FC25/S means that this is an Sbus card that will be plugged into an Sbus slot on the Ultra Enterprise's I/O board.

  • If SOC+ card is via Sbus slot:

  • # /usr/sbin/prtconf -vp | grep FCode

    version: '@(#) FCode 1.11 97/12/07'

    version: '@(#) FCode 1.11 97/12/07'

In this example, the firmware revision is "1.11" for the 2 SOC+ cards found on 2 separate Sbus slots.

  • Using explorer script 2.2.3 or higher, you can also obtain the information for the firmware revisions on your SOC+ cards.

Notes:

On systems with A5X00and/or Sun clusters, you MUST use Explorer rev 3.0.1 or higher.

While explorer will not execute the luxadm -v fcal_s_download command if the system is in multi-user mode, the FCode information is collected by prtconf -vp.To extract the FCode information run:

      # sed -n -e '/device_type:.*socal/,/name:.*SUNW,socal/p' prtconf-vp.out

Where prtconf-vp.out is located in the sysconfig dir.

Sample output:

device_type: 'socal'
version: '@(#) FCode 1.11 97/12/07'
manufacturer: 'SUNW'
model: '501-3060'
luxadm-v_fcal_s_download.out - output from luxadm -v fcal_s_download 

Note:

fcal_s_download will be executed only if the system is in single-user mode.

You can always get the socal's FCode version as follows:

        # sed -n -e '/device_type:.*socal/,/name:.*SUNW,socal/p' prtconf-vp.out 

Where prtconf-vp.out is located in the sysconfig dir.

Sample output:

      device_type: 'socal'
version: '@(#) FCode 1.11 97/12/07'
manufacturer: 'SUNW'
model: '501-3060'

How To Update:

  • Load Patch ID 103346-XX Click Here. The FCode patch and software for the SOC+ I/O board can be found in this patch. Check for the latest revision of this patch. Be sure to also read the README for this patch. The "flash-update" command is used to update the FCode revisions on the SOC+ I/O board cards which are the on-board SOC+ cards. As an illustration (taken from the patch's README file):

From version -08 of this patch:          

SOC+ Dual Sbus IO Board:

I/O Type 4 FCODE 1.8.6 1997/09/18 14:55 iPOST 3.4.4 1997/08/26 17:37

For SOC+ IO/IOG Prom's:

. SOC+ IO/IOG FCode (& Microcde) - New SOCAL FCode and Microcode to replace SOC FCode and Microcode in IO/IOG Prom's. (Note: socal is also called soc+, the code between socal and soc is incompatible. i.e. Socal code doesn't work on soc device and soc code doesn't work on socal device.)

NOTE: What this entails is that the minimum supported FCODE for the dual SOC+ cards on-board is 1.8.6 which can be obtained from Patch ID 103346-08 Click Here.

Disk Firmware

How To Determine:

SSA:

To determine a SparcStorage Array disk's firmware you can do any of the following:

Option 1:

Determine if SSA disk is present. Usually the device would be an "ssd". The give away thatthe drive is an SSA is, if you decipher the actual physical (hardware) path of the drive you see a "pln" or "soc".

Ways to determine if drive is from an SSA:

      # format                

or

      # cd /dev/dsk
# ls -la 

(You can also use /dev/rdsk).

After obtaining the "Raw_Disk_Device_Name", you will then run:

      # ssaadm display <Raw_Disk_Device_Name>

(You can use any slice number for this raw disk device, see Example).

or

Option 2:

      # iostat -En
or
# iostat -E (if running Solaris[TM] 2.6 or higher)

From this output we can determine that this disk's firmware revision is:

Revision: 1478

A5X00

Option 1:

Determine the A5X00(s) currently hooked up and obtain their enclosure name(s) from the "Name" field of the "luxadm probe" command.

      # luxadm probe
Name: sunarray

After obtaining the A5X00(s) enclosure name(s), issue the "luxadm display <Enclosure_Name>" command.

    # luxadm display <Enclosure_Name>  

where <Enclosure_Name> for example would be: sunarray taken from the "Name" field of the "luxadm probe" command.

Obtain the World Wide Number of the disk from the "(Node WWN)" column of the "DISK STATUS" output at the beginning of the displayed output from the "luxadm display <Enclosure_Name>" command.

    # luxadm display <WWW_Of_Disk>  

Sample output:

      DISK STATUS
SLOT     FRONT DISKS       (Node WWN)
4        On (O.K.)         20000020370705cf
So, the last step would then be:
# luxadm display 20000020370705cf |grep 'Revision:'
Revision:      1478

From this output obtain the "Revision: 1478" line. Firmware revision on this A5X00 disk is therefore 1478.

or

Option 2:

Determine if A5X00(s) disk is/are present. Usually the device would be an "ssd" and would have a "socal" or "sf" associated with it's actual physical (hardware) device path.

Ways to determine if drive is from an A5X00:

      # format
# cd /dev/dsk
# ls -la

From the long listing (ls -la under /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk), obtain the cXtXdXdXsX associated with the A5X00(s) disk. This would be the "<Raw_Disk_Device_Name>" needed for the "luxadm display <Raw_Disk_Device_Name>" needed in the next command to be executed.

Sample output:

      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 71 Apr 19 13:03 c1t4d0s0 ->
../../devices/sbus@1f,0/SUNW,socal@1,0/sf@0,0/ssd@w21000020370705cf,0:a   

From this output the "<Raw_Disk_Device_Name>" would be /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s0.

      # luxadm display <Raw_Disk_Device_Name>  

So executing this last command,

      # luxadm display /dev/rdsk/c1t4d0s2|grep 'Revision:' 

returns: "Revision: 1478" line. In obtaining the "<Raw_Disk_Device_Name>", you can specify any slice number (s0 - s7). This clearly shows the A5X00 disk firmware revision to be 1478.

Option 3:

If you are running Solaris 2.6 or higher, you may execute the iostat with the "-En" or "-E" command.

      # iostat -En

From this output, you may obtain the disk firmware from the "Revision: 147E" line. This shows a firmware revision of 147E.

From this output we can now use the disk's WWN# to look for the firmware revision:

# luxadm display 20000020370705cf | grep Rev
Revision: 1478
or

Armed with the WWN# information of the disk:

     SLOT     FRONT DISKS          (Node WWN)
4        On (O.K.)            20000020370705cf

The WWN of this front disk in slot 4 is: 20000020370705cf and we know that the disk is DUAL ported, meaning it can have 2 logical/physical paths to this same disk, so it can either be:

     21000020370705cf
^
|
Port 0
22000020370705cf
^
|
Port 1

Replace the "0" after the ssd@2X.... (where X is 0) with a 1 or 2 denoting the port number that Solaris understands like so:

Again based on this output we have obtained the disk's firmware revision tobe 0558 for all drives.

How to Update

SSA AND A5X00 AND A3000/RSM2000/D1000/A1000

FOR THE DISK DRIVES:

Use the firmware "download" binary/utility found in the corresponding disk's firmware patch.

As an example:

Patch-ID# 106817-01
Keyword: STST39173W 9GB 7063 5084 disk firmware
Synopsis: Hardware, 9GB Disks: Download program and ST39173W 7063 firmware
Date: Oct/02/98

From the Patch README:

...

The procedure to be used for upgrading the drive firmware is explained below. Upgrade time will be approximately 2 minutes for the system.

Unpack the patch (through tar) into any directory, say <patchdir>. (Note, if the patch ends in a ".Z" suffix, you will need to first uncompress it.) So, you would type:

     % su root
# cd <patchdir>
# tar xf <patch tar file>
In the patch directory, as root, type the "download" command:
# ./download
Please look at: <Document: 1001781.1>
Date:           Jul 9 2003
Synopsis:       SSA/A5X00 Software/Firmware Configuration Matrix
to obtain the latest disk firmware patches.
Typical disk firmware patches are:
Patch ID 103451-XX Click Here
Patch ID 104839-XX Click Here
Patch ID 106817-XX Click Here
Patch ID 104258-XX Click Here
Patch ID 109962-XX Click Here
Patch ID 107028-XX Click Here
For a better search of the firmware patch, after looking at <Document: 1001781.1> and determining which patch is needed you can use the search engine in http://sunsolve.sun.com and use keywords such as "9GB firmware disk 4GB 18GB ST34501"... etc... (this is only an example).
FOR THE CONTROLLERS:
GUI:
Update controller firmware on both controllers by:
  1. Bring up Raid Manager GUI called rm6 (/usr/lib/osa/bin/rm6). Select "Maintenance/Tuning" icon.
  2. Select "Firmware Upgrade" icon.
  3. Select "Offline" button - the software checks the selected RAID modules for restrictions. If there are no restrictions, it displays a list of firmware revisions.
  4. Select the version level to download.
  5. Select "OK" when correct version is highlighted.
  6. Select "OK" - Confirmation will indicate if upgrade succeeded or failed.
WARNING: Once you select "OK" at the "Firmware upgrade is about to start" (step f), do not select any other options or exit "Maintenance/Tuning" application until the upgrade process is complete. (Upgrade time 2 to 3 minutes per controller or may even be more).
CLI:
Use the fwutil command. For more inquiries use the man page for fwutil.
NAME
fwutil - controller firmware download utility
SYNOPSIS
fwutil <file> <raid controller specifier>  fwutil -
DESCRIPTION
fwutil transfers the contents of <file> into the RAID con-
troller indicated by <raid controller specifier>. <file> may
be appware, bootware, fibre channel version, or an NVSRAM
file. The operand <raid controller specifier> is an operat-
ing system device name (e.g. c1t2d0s0 (UNIX), drive1 (NT),
or beatr_1 (Networked)) identifying the controller where the
firmware will be downloaded. Only that controller, and not
its partner, will have firmware downloaded to it. fwutil
provides no validity checking or consistency guarantees.
This means it is up to the user to ensure such things as
bootware/appware compatibility and synchronization of
firmware versions across dual controllers. fwutil does
secure exclusive access to all LUNs on the controller it is
downloading and fails if exclusive access cannot be  obtained.
EXAMPLES
1. (UNIX) Download the bw020401.dl file to the controller c1t2d0s0.
# fwutil bw020401.dl c1t2d0s0
2. (NT) Download the bw020401.dl file to the controller drive1.
# fwutil bw020401.dl drive1
3. (Networked) Download the bw020401.dl file to the controller beatr_1.
# fwutil bw02040

Knowledge Article 204376, broken links

Hello. I have a document that has been waiting for help with some technical information. There are a couple links in it that are broken and we can't find their new locations. We're hoping you can help us. I have placed this document into the Tech Review workflow in IBIS where you can pick it up and review it. Please have a look at it as soon as time allows and hopefully you can help us get the links updated. All of the other links that had problems have been fixed, just not the ones listed below. We came across this problem when we were doing post Voyager -> IBIS migration work.
